INSULATING MAT

How They’re Used

These mats are typically placed on the floor in front of electrical panels, switchboards, battery rooms, and other live installations so that anyone standing on them with the right PPE (insulated gloves/boots) has a layer of insulation between their body and ground, reducing shock risk.

 

Description

Raychem RPG Electrically Insulating mats are high-grade, elastomer (rubber-based) floor coverings designed to protect personnel from electrical shock in high-voltage environments, such as switchboards and power stations. Compliant with IEC 61111:2009 and IS 15652 standards, these non-conductive, fire-retardant mats resist oil, acid, and extreme temperatures. They are available in various classes (e.g., Class 1 to 4) to handle voltages up to 36 kV AC (or 65kV in specific applications) and are generally supplied in 10-meter, anti-skid rolls.

What These Mats Are & Why They Matter

Electrical insulating mats from Raychem (often under the Kamfet name) are:

Made from high-quality non-conductive elastomer (rubber) to block electrical current between your feet and the ground.

Designed to protect workers from electric shock when working on or near energized electrical equipment (switchgear, panels, substations).

Manufactured to meet standards like IEC 61111 and often AS/NZS IEC 61111, which classify mats by the maximum voltage they can safely handle.

Available in different classes (Class 0, 1, 2, etc.) based on the maximum working voltage — higher classes protect against higher voltage levels.

Often have anti-slip surfaces, heavy-duty wear resistance, and sometimes dual-color indicators that show wear for safer replacement.
